Pope Francis Dies Aged 88

File photo - Photo dated May 13, 2023 shows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky meets Pope Francis. Ukraine has strongly rejected a call by Pope Francis for Kyiv to negotiate an end to its war with Russia and have "the courage to raise the white flag". Ukraine's foreign minister says it will "never raise any other flags" than the country's blue and yellow colours. And the country's President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed the comments as "virtual mediation". A Vatican spokesman later said the Pope was speaking of stopping the fighting through negotiation, not capitulation. -- Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta.
